I found this guy in a museum in Liverpool, but lack the motivation and clay to recreate him
I love his little face
I've seen this guy in the original Mulan.
The only Mulan, LBH. 🥲
That would make Keith Brymer Jones cry. "It's just beautiful... it's your best work so far... honestly..." (incoherent sobbing).
I can't unsee the Mater Bater [NSFW?] in his little face
They did a fantastic job
I want that coffee mug
Seriously though, if their gift shop doesn’t have a replica coffee mug, they are missing out.
Could probably get one right in the museum too if I can run fast enough
You wouldn't steal a car
Looks good, except for the teeth over the lips part.
Is it him?
Possibly this guy
Dwayne Dibbley!!! I feel so seen, where my orthodontia survivors at?
and that's how you steal from mexico city museum of anthropology under everyone's nose... 😆
I do wonder, if you swapped these, how long would it take people to notice.
It's not The Louvre, though...
Nailed it
Aimed to duplicate a cup of eternal youth, ends up making an equally awesome bag of holding.
"How could ancient man have possibly possessed the technology to create such a masterpiece?"
The resemblance is startling.
The object was made with some shitty $0 clay, so, close enough.
This one makes me so happy! https://dia.org/collection/dog/41200 The people of colima loved their little dog friends more than two thousand years ago
Never thought to recreate. But I would love a little post card print of doggo
I have several pictures of nearly identical derpy dogs taken at various museums. It looks a lot like my dog-in-law.
YES! My dog in law looks like the ceramic ones too. Through a series of events, dog in law came to live with us. He’s a good friend. That dog figurine reminds me he comes from a long line of good friends.
That's one of the phases of the Smithy boss fight
I support this level of fuck-it-otry
"fuck-it-otry"?
Maybe -ot and it'll flow better without that extra syllable?
Nice job op swag 900, but the teeth are supposed to stick behind the upper lip.
Stuff it with paper or something until it dries, to keep the form?
Wait, they did. And it still fell together?
I'm betting the original clay has more particulate to fortify tensile strength and stabilize vertical reach, whereas the facsimile is "$2 clay" and largely polymer-thickened mud. 🤷🏼♂️
Thats a hell of a 1st attempt!
Is this really a story about Intellectual Property rights? Did Cory Doctorow consult!?
Also I need the file. To reprint the monster, bring me the file dammit
Micro$haft's free 3D Builder can help you whip that up in a couple hours, tops. 🖖🏼
Not saying i don't like seeing this post, but i have to say i'm a bit surprised a post that doesn't really fit in this comm also got 3-5x more upvotes than the stuff usually posted here.
I love that museum! But only the part with the ancient sculptures, not the creepy life sized dioramas.
Derp statue goes Stephen
Now I want one too.
